I just had a dream about a little girl who went viral on tiktok because she couldn’t say ‘yaas or naahs’, she just always said ‘yasp or nasp’ but with a lot of confidence. People started saying yasp or nasp to everything and doing yasp or nasp challenges. I woke up and started thinking about how I had to share yasp or nasp with the waking world and composing this text post in my head, but about halfway through I woke up sufficiently more to realise ‘yaas or naahs’ is not a thing in the waking world, dream me had invented a new stupid gay way of saying ‘do you fuck with this or no is it a yaas or naahs’. THEN I realised my subconscious had probably gotten it from Hannah Smokey Glow’s makeup reviews and the specific way she says YAAAS OR PASS. So hannah if you’re out there

This doesn't happen on page because it's a childrens book but I know in my heart it happened.

and probably some former english major student somewhere recalling howell jenkins, circa 1980:

Don't get me wrong, I love the dreamy fairytale-ness of the Ghibli movie version of Howl's Moving Castle, but the book. The book. Sophie, first off, being so incredibly set on being the boring un-gifted un-adventuresome eldest daughter (as is right and fitting for an eldest daughter to be) that she doesn't notice she's working magic, like, constantly? And when a witch shows up like "hey girlie you are fully working SO much magic that I'm feeling threatened, so like I'm gonna put you in the old lady dimension ciao," she's like well. That was weird. Anyway I guess I better go find something to do as an old lady. And she reasons that this famously evil sorcerer who eats young girls' hearts is probably safe for her now cause like. She's old. What's he gonna do to me. And proceeds to bully her way into becoming his cleaning lady. And Howl, known flaky whimsical fuckboy extraordinaire, is like sure okay I guess that works for me. And just as well because it turns out he's also a fucking bottom who kinda digs this strong stubborn lady who's steamrolled her way into his life, kinda weird that she's disguised as an old woman but w/e he's not gonna question her life choices and like it's not actually a problem for him, and by the time Sophie's figured out that oh crap oh shit she's actually kinda into this flighty asshole, what am I gonna do, he'd never return my feelings in a hundred years, Howl's basically accepted that they're mostly married. And also how can you top "my extremely powerful and slightly fey wizard is just a Welsh grad student who wandered into a portal one day" for a character concept. You can't. It's the perfect book really
